The Spud on my Monitor..... health risk?

Scania · 16 Mar 2009 at 00:18

I have just ,sadly, thrown away mr Spud you see here, alas, when I picked him up, he started oozing lots of Brown slime - this worried me greatly after my mate suggested that it could be nasty akin to old Mushrooms & the like, so, off to the bin he went I am gutted I will miss him.

The advantage of an old CRT over a flat panel is plenty of space for storing your junk.

Anybody else got weird stuff on their PC's?

err no...

but my second monitor is propped up by a grooming set, so that the screen tilts downwards at the correct angle. lol.

nothing like heat from a CRT to improve the stability of your router / modem

I have 50 grams of legal hallugenic cactus powder on top of mine.

It's probably not doing his external HDD any favours either.

It was about to mutate, eat your brains and then rape and burn your wife and children so good move...

Wow, I did not realise my Virgin Modem was also an HD!

Apologies for the mess btw...

Ah, thought that the black one looked a little bit like a WD portable external...

I didn't put much thought into it though, because they only have one cable coming out of them

I think that it's safe to say: too long

We need to know. It's persistence on his monitor will directly correlate to how long he has left to live.

Are you going to use your degree in biology to work out how long it'll take him to die, based on culture times and temperature factors? Then sue the greengrocer for selling such a crime against nature?

No, don't be daft.

I'll sue his housemates.

I've got one of those new fangled TFT things I'm afraid, so no storage room up there. Also, whenever I use a computer at someones place and they have an CRT I feel envious of the colour accuracy and consistancy of colour across the screen. For photo editing especially, the old style monitors are superior I think. Maybe my TFT is just a piece of junk though.

In my cupboard,festering, for about 5 weeks and a further 3 or so sat on the monitor with the face drawn on.....
